Friday night is something I look forward to ever since my husband started making homemade pizza, crust and all. I really look forward to the nights that he uses this whole wheat crust. I'm not into whole wheat but this crust is FANTASTIC! We use the No Cook Pizza Sauce that I have posted on JAP, We also put thinly sliced seeded Roma tomatoes on top of the sauce and raw thinly sliced cloves of garlic on prior to the final cheese layer. These two minor and trivial additions make the flavor pop to the next level. Don't fry the sausage! Poach in a bit of water for a more tender sausage.
